Oh. My. Gods.
Piper is amazing. She beat a goddess, saved pretty much everybody's life at least once, stood up to Drew, and is an awesome fighter girl. She's not Annabeth, or Reyna, but they are all awesome and I don't think you should hate on them.
So, when you're writing a book about the Seven, don't just ignore Piper, or any character for that matter, or purposely make them seem like jerks. Piper is super kind and nice, Annabeth is not fake, and Jason is a noble hero. You shouldn't just leave them out of your story because "Piper is a mary sue" (she's not) or "Hazel's weak" (she's definitely not) or "Jason's boring" (because he's not, he's amazing and wonderful).
This is how the characters are, in my opinion:
Pipes McLean- Piper is awesome, amazing, and a goddess-killer. She is truly beautiful, inside and out, and I think she is a great character that I wish Rick would've done more with.
Jason Grace- Jason is amazing. He loves Piper and is a great leader. I think his "seriousness" balances out Percy and Leo's sarcasm and joking. And I have to admit, the glasses just make him better. I just wish he had apologized to Reyna... (#jeyna fo lyfe fools)
Frank Zhang- Frank's pretty cool and pretty chill. I think he's a good character, I just don't really love him as much as I do the other characters.
Hazel Levesque- Though Hazel can be a little annoying at times, I don't think she's weak or useless and I think she's pretty cool, a good way to balance out Pipes' and Annabeth's fierceness. Her and Frank are super sweet.
Nico di Angelo- I love Neeks. He's so cool and strong. But holy Hera people, he's not God, so stop worshipping him!
Leo Valdez- I like Leo in the Lost Hero, but I think Rick could've done better with his character development.
Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano- Yes. Just, yes. She's super strong and doesn't let her heart get in the way of her duty. She's great and rules CJ by herself and I just love that!
Annabeth Chase- I love Annabeth, and not just because my name is Athena and she's a daughter of Athena. She's a lot like me and I think she's awesome. She's my second favorite character in both series under Luke Castellan (do not get me started on the amazingness of Luke and the fine points of Lukabeth as a friendship). I wish people wouldn't just put her as the "abeth" of Percabeth.
Percy Jackson- Okay, who doesn't love Percy? I freaking adore Percy. His humor and wit in the first series gave me the love for the series, which in turn gave me the love for reading. I think people need to stop treating him like he's an idiot, though. I also think people need to stop idolizing him, because he's not perfect.
